review 1: Poetically written. A moving story of loss and courage. I had no idea what it was like for the native residents of Saipan during World War II.Many powerful statements in this book that really resonated with me. p. 61 "Trees that bend survive the typhoon; those that resist, shatter."p.82 "When you write, my father says you discover truths, something known but unknown to you."p.85 "Joseph, we do not know what is on the other side of a decision."Nancy Bo Flood does a masterful job portraying the dignity of the native people of Saipan caught in the crossfires of war. It is a story that should not only be told, but heard.
review 2: This book was about 2 boys on an island in the pacific during World War 2. Japan is under tight watch of the islanders and constantly ta... moreking away their privileges.The main character Joseph was thought of as an "island warrior" and his friend Kento wanted him to teach him how to be a warrior. since Kento was Japanese they weren't suppose to see each other which brought more troubles. The book wasn't as interesting as i originally thought it was going to be and I couldn't really connect with any part of it enough to want to dive into it. I wouldn't really recommend the book to anyone because i can't think of any group of people it would relate to or anyone it would entice. Overall I gave this book a 2 out of 5 because it wasn't so bad that I wanted to grab the blow torch but it wasn't anymore deserving of anymore stars. less
